Situated along the re-developed Kensington Street precinct, The Old Clare Hotel is the first Australian hotel from the unconventional Unlisted Collection:. Stretching across two iconic heritagelisted buildings – The Clare Hotel pub and the Carlton & United Breweries Administration Building – the 62 room boutique hotel has been constructed with obsessive attention to aesthetics and concern for retaining the interesting features of both buildings.

With its rich, varied history and architecture, Chippendale has become the home of choice for dozens of art galleries, production houses, graphic and fashion design studios, plus Sydney’s most exciting new restaurants, cafés and bars.

From the bar to the rooftop pool, unconventional event spaces interspersed throughout The Old Clare Hotel provide flexibility to create bespoke and distinct event experiences.

Average size of 44 square metres and each with very different features: be it the marble lobby and corniced ceiling in the former C.U.B administration building lobby, the exposed structural elements in our corner rooms, the original curved glass windows or one of the stylish new rooms on the upper floors; all of them lend themselves perfectly for gazing out pensively and plotting your next big cocktail lunch.

The Chippendale Lofts are contemporary and spacious, with a private bedroom and sitting area over two levels. Furnished with a mix of vintage designer and custom furniture, a super king sized bed and white marble bathrooms.
